You're the oldest and wisest elf of them all, come out of retirement to help Santa Claus prepare for a particularly tricky Christmas. Not a difficult game, but involves some trial and error. The AGT version plays Christmas carols over the internal speaker, but fortunately you can turn them off (or, better yet, delete them from your disk without otherwise affecting the game.)

The Elf's Adventure is one of the best AGT games I have played so far, being near enough free from bugs and spelling mistakes. Anyone who has played AGT adventures will know these are usually the things that let the games down. There are some neat twists to the plot which will have you racking your brain and then groaning when the answer becomes clear. There are some excellent descriptions and long sections of text which show the authors haven't just rattled the game out in an odd moment but have put time and effort into getting it just right.

There are two mazes though, one very small and completely pointless but the other is a swine.

IF that centers around holidays by Molly
I'm looking for IF that centers around specific real-world holidays, e.g. Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, Passover, the Fourth of July, Guy Fawkes Day, Halloween, etc.
